Join the fast growing community of DSpace Users!

The global migration to the newest version of DSpace marks a significant advancement in digital repository management, driven by the need for a more modern, flexible, and user-friendly platform.

DSpace 7 (and onwards) introduces a fully redesigned user interface that improves accessibility and usability for researchers, librarians, and institutions. It also brings enhanced integration capabilities with external systems, supporting RESTful APIs, and enabling greater customization and scalability.

The DSpace migration process, although facilitated by detailed documentation and community support, might be challenging, depending on the amount of custom development and integrations existing in Your current DSpace repository.
